A fun dark Peter Pan retelling but the romance never felt believable.
Plus she's a virgin? Pfft.

I LOVE PARIS.
I was a little bit skeptical because like many people, I thought Paris' baby voice 'tHaT's HoT' persona was who she actually was.
Instead she is a funny, passionate and resilient. Her story is completely shocking. Despite having all the money and privilege in the world, she had a very hard time in her teens.
The bits about the Provo behavioral school was beyond shocking. I cannot believe that schools like that even exist. And Paris had beauty, money, influence, and she still had to go through that hell.
I cannot applaud Paris enough for who she has turned out to be and I deeply respect her and her journey.

This book is heartwarming in so many senses of the word!
-Noelle's relationships with her entire family, but especially her late grandmother, really shine through in this story. It's rare for a MC to have a loving supportive family that are all rooting for her.
-Her viral tiktok search for her late grandmother's long lost love from her college days was relevant with the current times as well as precious!! I always love seeing videos of people looking for people from their past.
-Her teenage rivalry turned to present day enemies to lovers arc with the one....the only....THEO SPENCER.*swoooooooooooooooooon* He's successful, dimpled, and comes along with one very endearing grandfather to add to the mix.
-THE ROADTRIP. (no notes)
Noelle's character arc of being completely lost in her late 20's, learning more about herself, her skills, her passion and her family history....and not knowing what to do next...is beyond relatable. Add in some quippy humor, a charming grandfather and a roadtrip with her old nemesis and you've got yourself one near perfect romance, in my book!
BRAVO. Cannot wait to read more from Jessica Joyce in the future!

Trying to not let it's age be a factor in my rating but OOF.
The fatphobia and weirdness of the 90s and early 00s was something else.
Prude, dorky commentary and overall the ghost was annoying as hell. LOL

There are two timelines in this story and there was not a lot of connections until the very end so I was a bit confused about that.
The action was so silly and far fetched.... But then the epilogue felt like it lasted ten years! Twist after twist!
NYC apartment living is next level confusing to me as someone who would never choose to live there. It was an entertaining book but overall just kinda meh.
